Today I was in the mood for baking, so I decided to bake some cappuccino muffins ( I had been craving them). I created my own recipe. Here it is…

Cappuccino Coconut Muffins

2 cups all purpose flour

½ cup sugar

2 ½ tsp baking powder

3 tsp instant coffee powder

A few shakes of salt

1 tsp cinnamon

¼ tsp nutmeg

1 cup milk

1 tsp Kahlua

½ cup margarine melted

1 egg beaten

1 tsp vanilla extract

½ cup semi sweet chocolate chips

½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Preheat over to 350 degrees. Combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well. Add all the wet ingredients. Mix well. Fold in the chocolate chips. Place in 12 medium sized muffin tins. Bake for about 15 minutes (or until a tooth pick comes out clean).

Enjoy.

This evening I was in the mood for baking. I decided to make some muffins. I used a versatile muffin recipe as a guideline from Laura Secord Canadian Cookbook page 26. However I morphed the recipe quite a bit. Here is my version.

Mixed Berry Muffins

2 cups all purpose flour

4 tsp baking powder

A few shakes of salt

¼ cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 ½ cups milk

¼ cup margarine melted

¾- 1 cup mixed berries

(raspberry, blackberry, blueberry, strawberry)

Combine dry ingredient in a large bowl. Mix well. Add wet ingredients. Mix well. Bake at 350 degrees until lightly golden (toothpick comes out clean). Enjoy.

The muffins turned out very well. The mixed berries gave the muffins a lovely melody of flavors in each bite. I would definitely make this recipe again.

Below are a few images of the muffins.

Today I decided to make some muffins. I used my own recipe, however I made 12 instead of 24 that I origionally made the recipe with. Here is what I made with some images of the result.

Lisa’s Lovely Banana Muffins

1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup margerine
2 1/4 cups white flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
3 medium bananas
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp rum extract
1/2 cup sour milk
2 eggs
1/2 cup coconut

Add milk, bananas, vanilla, rum, eggs, and margerine to a blender and blend until smooth. In a bowl mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and coconut. Blend well. Add moist mixture to dry mixture. Place in greased muffin tins (unless you have nonstick ones), and bake until lightly golden on top.

Enjoy
